Police warn of scam attempts in town
The Kewanee Police Department is receiving complaints from citizens about possible scams being attempted in the community.
These possible scam attempts range from alleged local police-endorsed security systems, calling solicitor elimination programs and other alleged police-related solicitations.
Phone numbers left to return are often not in service or ask one to leave personal information.
"Although there are many legitimate professional and charitable organizations who solicit donations and/or provide legitimate services, there are also many scam artists who will attempt to mimic such honorable solicitations for illegal means and ill-gotten profits," Police Chief Jim Dison said. "Be wary of any callers wanting account or personal information as it may be a ruse to get information to steal an identity."
Dison added, "Do not allow yourself to become a victim by letting your guard down. Research any organization or business who may ask for donations or wish to provide you with a service before agreeing to take part.
"Everyone should strive to become a well-informed consumer," Dison said. "Everyone has the right to say 'no thank you' and end the call. Do not feel high pressured into any decision."
Anyone who feels they may have been scammed or may have had their identity stolen, should file a police report immediately, Dison said.
The police department has booklets available with information on contacting organizations that may be able to assist them if they have become a victim of identity theft.

July 4, 2012
It has been several months since I posted my review of the first half of the "Oracle Database 11gR2 Performance Tuning Cookbook" book. I had planned to post the review for the second half of the book a couple of weeks later, however four months have passed by since that time, and the second half of the review has yet to materialize. Someone recently left the following comment attached to one of my reviews on Amazon:
"This is the most comprehensive feedback I have ever read!!"
I appeciate the comment. Keep in mind that particular review was only roughly 9.5 typewritten pages in length; it takes a lot of time to put together an 18, 24, or 35 typewritten page review that is just as comprehensive as the one that elicited the above comment.
On to the topic of this article…
While reading the "Oracle Database 11gR2 Performance Tuning Cookbook" book, I noticed an interesting set of statements about the use of histograms (bolded sections appeared bolded in the book):
"Histograms are useful only on indexed columns containing skewed values, because they help the optimizer to choose whether to use the index or not to access values. Obviously, if the frequency for a specific value is very high, using the index won't be the best choice…."
"Don't use histograms in situations where:
- The column is not used in the WHERE clauses of the queries
- The data in the column is uniformly distributed
- Bind variables are used when comparing against the column"
What, if anything, is wrong with the above quote from the book? If possible, provide test cases to support or refute the above quote from the book (see the tips at the bottom of the blue section at the right of this blog page regarding how to post code sections).
The point of blog articles like this one is not to insult authors who have spent thousands of hours carefully constructing an accurate and helpful book, but instead to suggest that readers investigate when something stated does not exactly match what one believes to be true. It could be that the author "took a long walk down a short pier", or that the author is revealing accurate information which simply cannot be found through other resources (and may in the process be directly contradicting information sources you have used in the past). If you do not investigate in such cases, you may lose an important opportunity to learn something that could prove to be extremely valuable.

Janice Nadler and Mary-Hunter McDonnell recently posted their paper, "Moral Character, Motive, and the Psychology of Blame" (forthcoming Cornell Law Review) on SSRN. Here's the abstract.
Blameworthiness, in the criminal law context, is conceived as the carefully calculated end product of discrete judgments about a transgressor's intentionality, causal proximity to harm, and the harm's foreseeability. Research in social psychology, on the other hand, suggests that blaming is often intuitive and automatic, driven by a natural impulsive desire to express and defend social values and expectations. The motivational processes that underlie psychological blame suggest that judgments of legal blame are influenced by factors the law does not always explicitly recognize or encourage. In this Article we focus on two highly related motivational processes – the desire to blame bad people and the desire to blame people whose motive for acting was bad. We report three original experiments that suggest that an actor's bad motive and bad moral character can increase not only perceived blame and responsibility, but also perceived causal influence and intentionality. We show that people are motivated to think of an action as blameworthy, causal, and intentional when they are confronted with a person who they think has a bad character, even when the character information is totally unrelated to the action under scrutiny. We discuss implications for doctrines of mens rea definitions, felony murder, inchoate crimes, rules of evidence, and proximate cause.

Mitsubishi Montero tail light tint kits give the appearance of a completely custom job but without the hassle of wrapping or spray tinting. These tint covers are specifically designed with the DIY enthusiast in mind and are pre-cut to stretch over your tail lights with a minimum of trimming.
At Rvinyl we want to provide you with the greatest possible selection as you customize and upgrade your ride. For this reason, if you are unable to find a precut kit already in our inventory we also offer custom tail light design services. Should you choose to have a custom tail light kit designed for you you can expect it to be professionally designed and at your door within 7 to 21 business days.
Now that you have made your choice to go with an Rtint precut tail light cover you may want to consider how you will install it. Although no tools or fluids are required to install your Mitsubishi Montero kit, they are highly recommended to help you get the best results. Some of the suggested tools for smoke tail light installation are burnishing tools, squeegees, razors and Rapid Tac fluid which helps to reposition the tint during installation.
Our success as a company depends on you, our customers and highlighting the great work that you do without products is the best form of advertising out there. This is why we offer our photo rebate program on all Rtint products (except for clear Rshield film). So, how does it work? Simply send us four, large photos of your Mitsubishi Montero tail light tint installed and, once approved, we will issue up to a $20 refund to your account.

The Political Situation of Support and Opposition to Gay Marriage
Posted by The Situationist Staff on June 6, 2012
Situationist friend Dave Nussbaum continues to write terrific posts over at, Random Assignments. Below, we have re-blogged portions of his recent post about how President Obama's support of gay marriage led Republicans to become more opposed to it.
Yesterday, Andrew Sullivan posted a new Washington Post/ABC News poll tracking changes in approval for legalizing same sex marriage. Sullivan noted that following Obama's announcement this month that his support of equal rights for same sex couples has "evolved" into support for marriage, there has been a rise in support for legalizing gay marriage among Democrats and Independents. Meanwhile, among Republicans the reverse is true:
"As the country as a whole grows more supportive of gay equality, the GOP is headed in the other direction. Republican support for marriage equality has declined a full ten points just this year – a pretty stunning result. Have they changed their mind simply because Obama supports something? In today's polarized, partisan climate, I wouldn't be surprised."
I wouldn't be surprised either. This is how partisans often react to anything coming from the other side: whatever it is, they don't like it. Partisans will argue that they are opposed to whatever it is the other side is proposing purely on its merits. We all like to believe that when we evaluate a policy we are responding to the policy's content, but very often we're far more influenced by who is proposing it.
For example, in a pair of studies published in 2002, Lee Ross and his colleagues asked Israeli participants to evaluate a peace proposal that was an actual proposal submitted by either the Israeli or the Palestinian side. The trick they played was that, for some participants, they showed them the Israeli proposal and told them it was the Palestinian one, or they showed them the Palestinian proposal and told them it came from the Israeli side (the other half of participants saw a correctly attributed proposal). What they found was that the actual content of the plan didn't matter nearly as much as whose plan they thought it was. In fact, Israeli participants felt more positively toward the Palestinian plan when they thought came from the Israeli side than they did toward the Israeli plan when they thought it came from the Palestinians. Let me repeat that: when the plans' authorship was switched, Israelis liked the Palestinian proposal better than the Israeli one.
The same is true when it comes to Democrats and Republicans. In a series of studies published by Geoffrey Cohen in 2003 (PDF), he asked liberals and conservatives to evaluate both a generous and a stringent proposed welfare policy. Although liberals tend to prefer a generous welfare policy and conservatives tend to prefer a more stringent one, the actual content of the policy mattered far less than who proposed it. Not only were liberal participants perfectly happy to support a stringent policy when it was proposed by their own party (while the reverse was true for conservative participants), neither side was aware of the influence of the source of the policy proposal. So even though their partisan affiliations were more important than the content of the policy, both liberal and conservative participants claimed that they were basing their evaluations of the welfare policy strictly on its content. New research by Colin Tucker Smith and colleagues, published in the current issue of the journal Social Cognition (4), suggests that the influence of the policy's source on our evaluation of the policy's content happens at an automatic level and can happen without our awareness.
So perhaps it should not be terribly surprising that President Obama's support for marriage equality has led to increased support among Democrats and more opposition from Republicans. . . . [continued]

The printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead.
Yampa is a domain-specific embedded language for the programming of hybrid (discrete and continuous time) systems using the concepts of Functional Reactive Programming (FRP). Yampa is structured using Arrows, which greatly reduce the chance of introducing space- and time-leaks into reactive, time-varying systems.
Yampa was originally developed by the Yale Haskell Group based on the original idea of Conal Elliott's Fran.

Primitive signal functions
(download original Image:Yampa signal functions.svg)
Each switch comes in two different flavors:
- immediate: switch to the new behaviour immediately and also calculate the return value based on the new behaviour.
- delayed: return the value based on the old behaviour, but use the new behaviour afterwards. To use delayed switch prefix the switching functions with the letter 'd', f.e. 'drpSwitchB'.

A special diet ensures that these catfish have a consistent mild, slightly sweet flavor. Also, this lean fish is an excellent source of protein and contains omega-3 fatty acids. According to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, moderate fish consumption – one or two meals a week – is important in a heart-healthy diet. U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish makes a perfect choice for healthy family meals.
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon hot sauce
4 (6 to 7 ounces each) U.S. farm-raised catfish fillets
2 tablespoons butter
2 thin slices prosciutto or country ham, julienned (about 1 ounce)
¼ cup sliced almonds, toasted
1 tablespoon capers, optional
Preheat the oven to 250° F.
Stir together 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice, the olive oil. and hot sauce in a small bowl. Brush both sides of the catfish fillets with the mixture.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; spray with nonstick cooking spray. Add the fish fillets, two at a time. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until cooked through, turning only once. Transfer to a baking dish; keep warm in the oven. Repeat with remaining catfish fillets.
Melt the butter in the same skillet over medium heat. When lightly browned, add the prosciutto; cook, stirring and turning, for 1 minute. Remove from the heat; add the almonds and capers (if using) and the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
Serve the catfish fillets topped with ham and almond mixture.

this is honestly one of the most beautiful quilts I have ever seen! I love it so, so much and wish I could be cuddling it right now :) I love how your colors turned out and will have to try this with my own scraps once I have enough. I love the binding too, just perfect!ReplyDelete

Don't ya just totally dig the mirror? It was a beautiful old wondow that my personal decorator gave to me, and I just had a mirror put in it. (Please ignore the ugly red brick fireplace. I haven't yet worked up the guts to paint it white. I just can't decide if I'm ready to make that kind of commitment...what do you think? To paint, or not to paint???)
I decided not to buy anything new this year, so everything you see was from shopping the house and pulling out things I used last year.
I created a couple of printables in Photoshop, and put them in frames that I already had. The handprint turkey came with the frame. Just kidding! It's my son's from last year. I love to personalize this space with photos or other kid-made items.
If you would like them, I've included the digital files. Just click on the image to enlarge, right click and save. Print size is 5" x 7" for the scripture, and 8" x 10" for the subway art.
If you're new here, welcome! I'm glad you're here!! Feel free to take a look around and let me know if you like what you see. I've had a couple of requests, so I've added a place for you to subscribe to my blog. Hope to see you back real soon!

What is ataxia?
Ataxia means without coordination.
People who are diagnosed with ataxia lose muscle control in their arms and legs, which may lead to a lack of balance, coordination, and possibly a disturbance in gait. Ataxia may affect the fingers, hands, arms, legs, body, speech, and even eye movements.
Ataxia is often used to describe the symptom of incoordination that may accompany infections, injuries, other diseases, and/or degenerative changes in the central nervous system. The symptom of ataxia can be caused by stroke, multiple sclerosis, tumors, alcoholism, peripheral neuropathy, metabolic disorders, and vitamin deficiencies. in these cases, treating the condition that caused ataxia my improve it.
While the term ataxia usually describes symptoms, it also describes a group of specific degenerative diseases of the central nervous system called the hereditary and sporadic ataxias. The remainder of this article discusses these disorders.
What causes ataxia?
Most disorders that result in ataxia are found to have degeneration, or atrophy, of the cells in the part of the brain called the cerebellum. The cerebellum is located at the back of the head. Its function is to coordinate voluntary muscle movements and to maintain posture, balance, and equilibrium.
The spine can also be affected. The terms cerebellar degeneration and spinocerebellar degeneration may be used to refer to this type of damage to the nervous system.
The various abnormal genes that cause ataxia do have something in common: they make abnormal proteins that affect nerve cells, primarily in the cerebellum and in the spinal cord. They may also affect other parts of the brain.
The affected nerve cells begin to function poorly and ultimately degenerate. As the disease progresses, muscles become less and less responsive to the commands of the brain. This causes balance and coordination to become a greater problem.
Types of ataxia
As discussed above, there are two types of ataxia:
Sporadic ataxias. Ataxias of this type usually begin in adulthood and have no known family history.
Hereditary ataxias. These ataxias are caused by a defect in a gene that is present from the start of a person's life and can be either dominantly inherited or recessively inherited. Recessive disorders commonly cause symptoms to begin in childhood rather than in adulthood.
Genetic testing is now available. Friedreich's ataxia is recessively inherited and occurs in childhood, but can have an adult onset in up to one third of patients. Dominant ataxia often begins in the twenties or thirties or sometimes even later in life.
Hereditary ataxias are degenerative disorders that may progress over a number of years. How severe the disability depends on the type of ataxia, the age of onset of symptoms, and other factors that are poorly understood.
What are common symptoms of ataxia?
Symptoms and time of onset may vary according to the type of ataxia. Each individual may experience symptoms differently.
Typically the most common are listed below:
Balance and coordination are affected first
Incoordination of hands, arms, and legs
Slurring of speech
Wide-based gait
Difficulty with writing and eating
Slow eye movements
The symptoms of ataxia may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your doctor for a diagnosis.
How is ataxia diagnosed?
In addition to a thorough medical history, family history, and complete neurological and physical examination, the following diagnostic procedures may be performed:
Laboratory tests (including blood and urine studies)
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A diagnostic procedure that uses a combination of large magnets, radiofrequencies, and a computer to produce detailed images of organs and structures within the body
Genetic testing. Tests performed to determine if a person has certain gene changes (mutations) or chromosome changes which are known to increase risk for certain inherited conditions
These diagnostic procedures may also be used to rule out other conditions that can cause ataxia to appear. Certain conditions can cause ataxia to appear suddenly, such as head trauma, stroke, brain hemorrhage, brain tumor, congenital abnormalities, infections, post exposure to certain drugs, and also following cardiac or respiratory arrests.
Some conditions can cause ataxia to appear gradually, such as hypothyroidism, deficiencies of certain vitamins such as B-12 or vitamin E, exposure to certain drugs, multiple sclerosis, syphilis, and other disorders.
Treatment for ataxia
At this time there is no cure for the hereditary ataxias. There is also no medication currently available which treats the specific symptom of ataxia.
If ataxia is due to a stroke, a low vitamin level, or exposure to a toxic drug or chemical, then treatment is aimed at treating those specific conditions.
The treatment for the incoordination or imbalance mostly involves the use of adaptive devices to allow the individual to maintain as much independence as possible. Such devices may include the use of a cane, crutches, walker, or wheelchair. Physical therapy, speech therapy, and medications to help symptoms, such as tremor, stiffness, depression, spasticity, and sleep disorders, may also be beneficial.
Research is being conducted on cerebellar and spinocerebellar degeneration, including work aimed at finding the cause(s) of ataxias and ways to treat, cure, and ultimately prevent them, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.

Boy Scouts remove 2 men who toppled ancient rock
Two Utah men already facing possible criminal charges for purposely toppling an ancient rock formation in a state park have now been removed from their posts as Boy Scout leaders.
A northern Utah Boy Scouts council announced Monday that Glenn Taylor and Dave Hall will no longer be allowed to lead scouting troops due to what happened Oct. 11 at Goblin Valley State Park, which they filmed and posted on Facebook.
The move comes on the heels of the national Boy Scouts of America condemning the men's actions last week and promising a review of the incident. The Boy Scouts' Utah National Parks Council posted a statement on its website saying the men's actions are not in line with the principles the organization teaches about preserving nature.
"We encourage all leaders and Scouts to review the 'Leave No Trace' principles, as we are all a part of maintaining the integrity, character and the natural beauty of the outdoors for all living things," the statement said.
The rock formation they toppled over is about 170 million years old, Utah State Parks spokesman Eugene Swalberg said. The central Utah park is dotted with thousands of the eerie, mushroom-shaped sandstone formations.
Hall and Taylor came under fire last week after posting a video on Facebook where Taylor can be seen wedging himself between a formation and a boulder to knock a large rock off the formation's top. Taylor and his two companions can then be seen cheering, high-fiving and dancing.
They said the rock formation was loose and they feared it was dangerous. They were leading a group of teenage Boy Scouts on a trip when it happened.
Hall said they found out about losing their Boy Scouts positions Monday morning. They had been troop leaders for a few years, Hall said, and hope to continue to be involved in organization in the future using what happened as a teaching point. Both men are from Highland, Utah, about 30 miles south of Salt Lake City.
"We've always supported the Boy Scouts and if that's what they feel is best, we support that decision," Hall said. "We're extremely sorry for our mistake. We look forward to doing everything we can to make it right and move on."
Utah State Parks authorities are conducting a criminal investigation, and the Emery County Attorney's Office also is reviewing the incident to determine if charges should be filed.

Throughout October, LACMA's Exhibition Film Series will span nearly a century of cinema and a surfeit of styles.
The bleak deliriums of German Expressionist cinema will be on full display as we screen a (quite) abridged selection of its baleful marvels: Robert Wiene's scene setting, madly distorted The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari kicks off our four-film sampler followed by: Waxworks, Paul Leni's treasure chest of horrors and hallucinations; Faust, F.W. Murnau's lyrical Old World frieze; and Metropolis, Fritz Lang's bustling futureworld panorama. Of course, German Expressionist cinema also offered other pleasures such as operatic medieval epics (Lang), downcast proto-noirs and melodramas (Pabst, May, Murnau, Lang), sumptuous comedies (Lubitsch), and razzle-dazzle adventures (nearly all of the above). Coursing with primal urges and set within awesome, artificial expanses, these films plumb the depths of the human soul while delighting the naked eye with an overabundance of visual intrigue.
From the thunderous tragedies, vertical sprawl, and raw-nerve performances of German Expressionism, LACMA will turn to works largely created in two dimensions. The three programs under the "Surreal Screen" banner explore the mechanics of the mind as registered through drawing and collage.
"Animating the Subconscious" will present cel animated cartoons from the studio system in the 1930s to the 1950s that explore imagination's more outlandish perimeters: we're not just talking about Dali's posthumously completed Disney fantasia (Destino, which will be screened), but also the Fleischer Studios' inky, musical black-and-white wonderlands starring Betty Boop and her sidekick Bimbo; Chuck Jones's crazed and colorful eccentricities with Daffy Duck; and much more—all presented by animation historian Jerry Beck.
Moving out beyond the mainstream to the solitary experiments of moving image alchemists working with all manner of found materials to produce films that blend the innate dramaturgy of montage with the surrealists' maelstrom of associations, "Collage in Motion" will offer works spanning nearly fifty-five years: Robert Breer's random machine-gun blasts of refuse (Recreation, 1956), Stan Vanderbeek's transfixing time-lapse exquisite corpse (See, Saw, Seems, 1959), Lawrence Jordan's cosmic cutouts (Our Lady of the Sphere, 1968), Frank and Caroline Mouris' wellspring of mass culture minutia (Frank Film, 1973), Martha Colburn's dynamite pocket epics (Triumph of the Wild, 2000), Jodie Mack's feast of optical patterns (Unsubscribe #1: Special Offer Inside, 2010), and more.
After surveying artists across five decades and at least two continents, we'll settle down with a filmmaker presently working in our own backyard: Lewis Klahr. Drawing from modernity's discarded riches—comics, cutlery, snapshots, film soundtracks, telegraphs, advertisements, stationery—Klahr renders the liminal space between dream, memory, and vision. His protagonists—many scissored from the rainbow colored, Ben-Day-dotted pages of comic books—become imbued with psychodramas, desires, and fates that transcend their one-dimensional origins. Klahr transforms the screen into a composite paradise of analog splendors. His films are made by hand and more or less works in miniature, but these artisanal roots hardly prepare the viewer for the films' retinal pleasures and sensorial resonances. We'll present the Los Angeles premiere of his feature debut, The Pettifogger, a crime film sui generis that warrants a new genre designation (ephemera noir?). On top of that, we'll delve into Klahr's abundant back catalog to revisit some of his prior excursions through the society of the spectacle's eternal ruins. A vast selection of Klahr's work will also be available for viewing on the Stark Bar monitors starting this month.

Today's News: Our Take - Showtime Renews Shameless, House of Lies and Californication
Showtime has renewed its entire Sunday night lineup, the network announced Tuesday. Shameless, House of Lies and Californication will all return with new seasons in 2014.
Photos: SAGs fashion hits and misses
"Californication, House of Lies, and Shameless possess highly distinctive comedic voices, and given that all three continue to grow their audience season after season - the pick-up decision was easy," David Nevins, Showtime entertainment president, said in a statement. "I am incredibly excited to see what each of these series has in store for their next seasons."
The news doesn't come as much of a surprise. All three series earned their highest-rated episodes to date when they premiered Jan. 13, beating out any prior season premiere or finale.
Production of Shameless' fourth season, Californication's seventh and House of Lies's third will begin later this year.

Patients & Families
For Health Professionals
There's a lot of disagreement among doctors when it comes to fibromyalgia. Theories differ as to what causes it and how best to treat it. There's even disagreement about what to call it — some call it a syndrome, others a disorder, still others a chronic condition.
Whatever you label it, and whatever its origins, fibromyalgia presents a very real challenge to those coping with its symptoms each day.
Fibromyalgia is a common chronic pain condition — it affects millions of people in the United States. It's far more common in females than males and can start when kids are in their teen years or even younger, although it's most common in women between the ages of 20 and 50.
Fibromyalgia (fy-bro-my-AL-ja) is a long-term, or chronic, syndrome that causes widespread pain in the muscles, joints, and other soft tissues of the body. The term "fibromyalgia" comes from the Latin word "fibro" for fibrous tissue, and the Greek "myo" for muscle, and "algos" meaning pain. In kids, it is sometimes referred to as juvenile primary fibromyalgia syndrome.
The pain of fibromyalgia is often accompanied by isolated tender or sore areas, fatigue, poor sleep, headaches, and other symptoms. Fibromyalgia is often considered a syndrome rather than a disease because it's a collection of symptoms that seem to be related but, unlike a disease, there's no cause that can be identified.
Although fibromyalgia is a chronic condition, its symptoms typically come and go. They can be mild at times, then so severe at others that they interfere with normal activities. Many kids with fibromyalgia can attend school regularly, but their abilities vary depending upon the severity of their symptoms.
Treatment for fibromyalgia focuses on managing the pain and other symptoms. This often involves a combination of medicines and lifestyle changes, such as exercise, relaxation, and stress-management techniques. There is no cure for fibromyalgia, but treatment has been shown to improve the quality of life for those who have it.
Most kids with fibromyalgia complain of widespread muscle pain, usually a dull or burning kind, but sometimes more of a shooting or throbbing pain. Widespread means the pain happens on both sides of the body, above and below the waist; it can range from mild to severe.
Usually, someone with fibromyalgia also has a number of tender spots — places where he or she feels pain if the spot is pressed. Common tender spots include the back of the head, between the shoulder blades, shoulders, chest, neck, hips, knees, and elbows.
Fatigue (tiredness) is another common complaint of kids with fibromyalgia. Because of this, fibromyalgia can mimic the symptoms of a similar condition called chronic fatigue syndrome. Sometimes, a person can have both conditions, but they are separate syndromes.
Fibromyalgia also usually causes sleeping problems that make getting a good night's sleep difficult. Some kids may have other sleep disorders like restless legs syndrome and sleep apnea. Poor sleep can also lead to waking up with body aches and stiffness that may improve during the day, then get worse at night.
Additional symptoms of fibromyalgia can include:
People with fibromyalgia often notice a variety of external factors that can make their symptoms worse, from emotional stress to cold, damp weather.
Doctors aren't really sure what causes fibromyalgia, but most agree that the brains of people who have it sense pain differently. They might feel pain in response to things (like stress) that aren't normally painful.
Some cases of fibromyalgia seem to be triggered by an event — like an infection or illness, physical injury, or emotional upset. Genetic factors also might play a role. Fibromyalgia tends to run in families, so it's possible that having a genetic mutation may increase someone's risk of developing the condition.
If your child seems to be suffering from one or more of fibromyalgia's major symptoms — such as chronic muscle pain, fatigue, or disrupted sleep — contact a doctor. While there's no specific test to diagnose fibromyalgia, a doctor can run tests to rule out other possible causes, such as thyroid disorders, infectious diseases, or rheumatic diseases (like juvenile idiopathic arthritis).
Since fibromyalgia can't be confirmed by any laboratory tests and has few, if any, visible signs, it can be difficult for doctors to diagnose the condition. This can be frustrating for someone who has it. Some estimates claim that it takes an average of 5 years for someone with fibromyalgia to get an accurate diagnosis, and some doctors are not as familiar with the condition as others.
Doctors diagnose fibromyalgia in someone based on medical history, the person's description of symptoms, and a physical exam, including a check of 18 usual tender spots. Most kids with fibromyalgia will have pain when pressure is applied to at least five of the tender spots, and will have widespread musculoskeletal aches lasting for at least 3 months, with no other medical problem causing the pain.
There's no cure for fibromyalgia, but treatment can help manage symptoms, ease pain, and improve a child's overall health and quality of life. Treatments for fibromyalgia include both lifestyle changes, behavioral therapy, and medicines.
Before giving medicines, doctors usually will try other treatments, such as:
Some kids also find that changing the way they think about their condition helps improve their symptoms. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), a therapy used by mental health professionals, can help kids learn to filter out negative thoughts, recognize what makes symptoms worse, and set limits to keep symptoms in check.
If these steps aren't enough to manage fibromyalgia symptoms, the doctor may prescribe medications. Some of the more common ones prescribed to treat fibromyalgia are:
In addition to helping your child manage the symptoms of fibromyalgia, it's also important to provide the necessary emotional support. Talking about the condition and coming up with coping strategies together can help.
Many young people also find that support groups, as well as counseling from a trained psychologist, can help them learn to manage their symptoms, feel better, and have a more positive outlook on life./p>

NEW YORK – Voters across the country reported hours-long lines, intimidation tactics and other barriers to voting on Election Day.
Voter advocates at the Election Protection call center said they received more than 63,000 calls to a hotline for voters encountering problems hours before polls closed Tuesday on the East Coast. Barbara Arnwine, president of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, which runs the hotline, said there was "massive confusion in multiple states over the right voter identification requirements."
Widespread problems were reported in New York and New Jersey, where voters displaced by Hurricane Sandy were given the option to vote by email. Arwine called voting in New Jersey "a catastrophe." At least part of the problem in that state was technological.
"The servers went down in three counties in New Jersey," said Heather Smith, president of Rock the Vote. "People are emailing scanned PDF forms. When it doesn't work, they're trying four or five times, and the server's down."
New Jersey voters were told they could vote at any polling place, but some affected by the storm are still stuck out of state. Others reported worrying about using up gasoline, which has been hard to get in the aftermath of last week's megastorm, Smith said. While the hurricane created unexpected chaos late in the election, other problems – long wait times and confusion about voter registration – were expected.
"This is one of those situations where you think, 'Are we still dealing with these same problems?'" Smith said. "Every four years, the same things come up. It's frustrating that we don't deal with it."
In Pennsylvania, voters complained of more nefarious barriers to exercising their voting rights. Pennsylvania voters in Allegheny and Fayette counties said they were being intercepted by poll watchers who directed them away from the polling places where they were registered, according to government watchdogs.
"Those are probably the most egregious," said Barry Kauffman, director of the voter advocacy group Common Cause Pennsylvania. "They would be intercepting voters, asking them their names and then saying, 'You're not on my list.' Some of the people allegedly were walking away before they got to the poll workers. There was a court order late this morning telling those poll watchers that nobody may ask for ID except for official poll watchers. They were working for the county Republican Committee."
A spokesman for Allegheny County was in Election Court and didn't immediately return a request for comment on Tuesday. The Keystone State also saw widespread confusion over ID requirements, according to Common Cause.
"In Pennsylvania, there are misleading and, frankly, poorly trained workers requiring ID where they shouldn't be," said Jenny Flanagan, Common Cause's director of voting and elections. "We had the state of Pennsylvania still putting out mailers – that came from the state – saying if you want to vote, show it. They had an obligation to educate the public after the court decided that photo ID would not be required. They did not and it's shameful."
Pennsylvania sent out more than 8 million flyers to Pennsylvania voters the first week of September that indicated ID would be required at polling places, but none since then, according to spokesman Matthew Keeler.
"The fact that this one reached this voter yesterday or today is either a cause by delay in the mail or it was lost and finally returned," Keeler said. "It was not supposed to go out recently."
Keeler also defended the state's voter education campaign in the wake of an October ruling that allowed Pennsylvania voters to vote without ID. After that decision, the department began running TV, radio and newspaper ads to notify the public of the change, he said. He also said the department made an effort to update polling workers, who over the summer received a guide that trained them to ask for IDs.
Voters complained about long lines in polling places across the country, even in states like Colorado where a huge portion of the electorate votes early. Because Colorado has "no-excuse" early voting, 70 percent of eligible voters turn in their ballots early, according to a spokesman for the secretary of state. Colorado also set up voting centers that enabled voters to cast ballots in any facility within their county, but that didn't quell long lines at the short-staffed facilities, Flanagan said.
"All of our counties in the nation are overworked and understaffed," Flanagan said. "The 70 percent [who vote early], those are the most active voters in the state. What we see on Election Day, the people who run into problems, are people who get engaged later in the game. They don't have less of a right to vote. People who wait until Election Day, they have every right to watch what happens with the candidates until the end. We don't have enough protections."
Having a bad experience, especially for less-engaged voters, "definitely has an impact on whether or not they'll come back," she said. Voters reported waiting in line for as long as two to four hours in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Ohio, Texas and Virginia.
"We have a lot of problems," Flanagan said. "We don't know if we'll know who our president is at the end of the night. We don't know what problems might continue to crop up. But we do know people care. They care so much that they're willing to stand in line, they bring their children because it's that important. Americans know that people fought and died for this right and they're not going to get out of line."

Would the Washington Post feature a columnist writing a weekly column which was frequently anti-Semitic? No, of course not — the Post will not have such a columnist and rightfully so. But, the Washington Post has Charles Krauthammer spewing hatred, falsehoods, and much more anti-Arab and anti-Islam rhetoric frequently. He demonizes Arabs and Muslims by his falsehoods. In fact, he was one of the most effective voices in calling for the invasion of Iraq causing hundreds of thousands of death and over a million wounded.
I am a loyal reader of Mr. Krauthammer's column in the Post. I like to know what the other side is saying — or maybe I like to torture myself! But, Krauthammer's most recent column on Friday June 4, 2010 got my blood boiling. He was trying to defend the Israeli commando raid of the humanitarian flotilla. He ends his article with:
The world is tired of these Jews, 6 million – that number again – hard by the Mediterranean, refusing every invitation to national suicide. For which they are relentlessly demonized, ghettoized and constrained from defending themselves, even as the more committed anti-Zionists – Iranian in particular – openly prepare a more final solution.
He claims the humanitarian aid is an invitation to national suicide! Could he be more absurd? Israel has over 200 nuclear bombs, the strongest regional military power, supported by the only superpower, and the strongest economy. But if they allow a humanitarian aid ship through it is suicide. He claims that all Israel wanted was to search the cargo for weapons. Well, why then has Israel had a total blockade in force on Gaza's 1.6 million Palestinian Arabs for the past four years?
During that time, couldn't Israel have arranged for an international inspection of all humanitarian aid into Gaza? Or is it that Israel wants to prevent food and medicine from reaching the Palestinians as a collective punishment? Or is it that Israel, as one official said, wants to starve them but not kill them. The sewage system in Gaza was destroyed by Israel two years ago. The water purification system, too, was destroyed or rendered dysfunctional by the blockade. The children of Gaza are dying from diseases and malnutrition.
The Gazans live in the highest population density area in the world. They have been living under such conditions for the past sixty years since the creation of Israel, which now has one of the highest living standards in the world. So tell me: who is living in a Ghetto?
Mr. Krauthammer wants to demonize the Palestinians as an ungrateful people. But they only want freedom from mass starvation. How dare they want to attack Israel in order to attain the resemblance of livelihood? Moreover, how dare the world support a flotilla that seeks to prevent the starvation of 1.6 million people?
If the security of Israel is the issue, then why doesn't Mr. Krauthammer support the two-state solution called for by the UN, United States and the Quartet? I would support a fully secure and safe Israel within its 1967 borders with an unarmed state of Palestine. Israel and Mr. Krauthammer would not be satisfied until all of the Arabs and Muslims become subservient to the wishes of Israel and the United States.
It would have been more appropriate if the ending paragraph of Mr. Krauthammer's recent column stated:
The world is tired of these Palestinians, 6 million – that number again – hard by the Mediterranean, refusing every invitation to national suicide. For which they are relentlessly demonized, ghettoized and constrained from defending themselves, even as the more committed anti-Arabs and anti-Muslims – Israeli government and Mr. Krauthammer in particular – openly prepare a more final solution.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and Western governments claim that satellite images show Iran is trying to scrub a site at its Parchin military complex clean of evidence of nuclear weapons experiments. In response, Gareth Porter wrote at IPS on June 8:
The nature of the [alleged evidence of activities] depicted in the images and the circumstances surrounding them suggest, however, that Iran made them to gain leverage in its negotiations with the IAEA rather than to hide past nuclear experiments. … the activities shown in those satellite images … appear to be aimed at prompting the IAEA, the United States and Israel to give greater urgency and importance to a request for an IAEA inspection visit to Parchin.
For example water shown in a satellite image and ostensibly used for cleaning "appears to collect in a ditch a short distance away from the building. … soil that was moved from two areas [but appears] to have been carried only a few hundred feet further north of the former area where it is shown to have been dumped, offering another inviting target for environmental sampling."
In other words, the so-called sanitizing is a show Iran has been putting on for the benefit of the West. Porter further reports that the Arms Control Association's Greg Thielmann told him "that he didn't know whether the changes shown in satellite images were part of a conscious Iranian negotiating strategy." But, the changes, in effect, "'increase the interest of the IAEA in an inspection at Parchin as soon as possible and to give Iran more leverage in the negotiations.'"
"Access to Parchin," Porter explains "has been recognised implicitly by both sides as Iran's primary leverage in those negotiations."
Gareth Porter is one of the few — perhaps the lone — analyst striking the note that, besides for nuclear power, Iran enriches uranium as a bargaining chip with the West. Arguably it's a less hostile strategy than the coercive diplomacy to which the United States reflexively defaults.
With its attempts to lure the West in via its scrub-down show Iran seems to be playing negotiating chess while the West is playing checkers. But, as has been pointed out to me, in the end, it may be immaterial since the West can bring its first down on the whole game, crush the board and scatter the pieces.
Besides, Iran may be cutting it too close. For one thing, the worth of its chips is inflated: Both the West and its regional neighbors think Iran is developing a program that all the evidence suggests it isn't and over-react accordingly. Worse, Iran's strategy resembles Saddam Hussein's before the 2003 invasion. While neither Iran nor Iraq had nuclear weapons, both thought it was to their advantage to leave a seed of doubt in our minds, though for different reasons: Saddam for regional security, Iran as a negotiating ploy to get sanctions suspended and advance its nuclear energy program.
When it comes to nuclear weapons, nature couldn't abhor a void more. Imagination runs rampant and those with an agenda against the state holding its nuke cards close to the best feel justified in pursuing it to the max.

Oracle plans to release an update for the widely exploited Java browser plugin. The update fixes 39 critical vulnerabilities and introduces changes designed to make it harder to carry out drive-by attacks on end-user computers.
The update scheduled for Tuesday comes as the security of Java is reaching near-crisis levels. Throughout the past year, a series of attacks hosted on popular websites has been used to surreptitiously install malware on unwitting users' machines. The security flaws have been used to infect employees of Facebook and Apple in targeted attacks intended to penetrate those companies. The vulnerabilities have also been exploited to hijack computers of home and business users. More than once, attackers have exploited one previously undocumented bug within days or weeks of patching a previous "zero-day," as such vulnerabilities are known, creating a string of attacks on the latest version of the widely used plugin.
In all, Java 7 Update 21 will fix at least 42 security bugs, Oracle said in a pre-release announcement. The post went on to say that "39 of those vulnerabilities may be remotely exploitable without authentication, i.e., may be exploited over a network without the need for a username and password." The advisory didn't specify or describe the holes that will be patched. Security Exploration, a Poland-based security company that has discovered dozens of "security issues" in Java, has a running list of them here.
In addition to the bug fixes, Oracle developers plan to roll out changes to Java that are intended to help end users make better decisions about when (and when not) to allow Java code to be executed in their browsers. Under the update, Java will display a variety of messages and dialog boxes, such as the one shown above, when it encounters websites that host Java applets. In some cases, the code will be executed only after an end user clicks an "OK" button.
"The messages presented depend upon different risk factors, such as using old versions of Java or running applet code that is not signed from a trusted Certificate Authority," an article posted to Oracle's Java.com explained. "Apps that present a lower risk display a simple informational message. This includes an option to prevent showing similar messages for apps from the same publisher in the future."
By contrast, higher-risk apps will be accompanied by a message that includes an exclamation point in a yellow warning triangle when the app certificate is untrusted or expired, or a yellow warning shield when the app is unsigned or is signed by a certificate that's not valid.
Oracle introduced a similar dialog message scheme late last year, but as previously reported by Ars, it doesn't check the validity of application certificates. It's a shortcoming that makes it easy for attackers to bypass the protection. That's because it presents certificates as trustworthy even when they've been reported as stolen and added to publicly available revocation databases. The failure of Java to check certificate revocation lists came to light last month after Java gave the green light to a malicious app even though the digital certificate signing it had been revoked by the company that owned it.
For almost a year now, Ars has been calling on Oracle developers to rigorously audit the Java software framework to patch the most critical security holes. It's also crucial for Java to be outfitted with protections designed to help end users block drive-by attacks and to lessen the damage that can be done when vulnerabilities are exploited. It will take a few weeks to know if Tuesday's update will finally deliver these long-overdue changes. We're certainly keeping our fingers crossed, but in the meantime, we're repeating our oft-repeated advice: users who have no need for the Java browser plugin should uninstall it, or users could reserve a specific browser for the handful of websites they use that require Java and a separate browser for all other sites.

Drugstore Divas received tickets for this Medieval Times review. All thoughts and opinions belong to Drugstore Divas.
I wasn't sure if I could do it, honestly. Eat an entire meal with my hands. It just seemed a bit impossible when I thought about it. Soup, chicken, sides, dessert … one napkin. But that's really what everyone knows about Medieval Times and all I could think about when Pete and I were planning to go earlier this month.
We entered the castle, picked up our VIP Royalty tickets — which meant we got priority seating, a flag to wave, a rally towel, but still no utensils — and sat in the front row. Our host for the night quickly came over to serve us tomato soup in a bowl with a large handle. You could pick it up and sip easily. Utensils really weren't needed.
Once we got that out of the way, we were really able to enjoy the show. We sat front row center in the yellow knight's section. He was our main dude, and we were cheering mainly for him, but also for the other two knights on our half of the arena. And cheer we did. There were feats of strength, which were incredible impressive. Six knights were riding on horseback, grabbing rings with poles. It was so cool to watch them and think about how they were actually competing in these games. There wasn't CGI or stunt doubles around. Sometimes the men would falter, but mostly they would succeed, and that was so much fun to watch.
After that, there's a full "scripted" portion of the show where the knights joust and fight so one can (eventually) save the princess.
I actually loved it so much that I want to go back again and bring my parents. I know they would love it. Maybe not the eating with your hands part, but they would definitely love the show.
Have you been to Medieval Times?
If you want to go, get adult tickets for $36.95 and children (12 and under) for $29.95 with the code MT3629 through 2/28/17. Get your discounted tickets here.
#ad Saturday night fun at #MedievalTimes. Let's go yellow knight! #USFG

Last evening, as has been the custom for almost 20 years, the home of Tammy and Sidney Cohen (partners at 18 Restaurant) was once again the center for a gathering of a diverse group of people. We came to commemorate the anniversary of Rabbi Meir Ba'al Haness' departure from this world. On such an occasions we give tzedakah in the Sage's name as we pour our hearts out to the Almighty about our most urgent needs.
After Ma'ariv, each person lit his/her candle and proceeded to make their personal request starting with the well known formula, "Eloka d'Meir aneni – Lord of Meir, answer me…"
The table was laden with various trays of rice, chicken, fish, beef, meat balls and salads; as everyone grabbed a bite, the speaker regaled us with divrey Torah.
HaRav Yechiel Azoulay, spoke eloquently and with humor on the question of why Rabbi Meir was known as Ba'al Haness. Doesn't every Jew have a personal miracle story he can tell? Why has only Rabbi Meir merited the added title?
Rav Azoulay told over a personal story of a miracle Hashem did for his own family (when the Rosh Yeshiva was merely 6 years old, as the family expected to leave Morocco for Israel), a story that showed Hashem had saved a whole family without the need to invoke Rabbi Me'ir's help. He then proceeded to tell the story of his brother's childless marriage (for many years), how Rabbi Meir's intercession helped when Israel's top doctors were unable to. Of course, as expected, his brother is a now proud father of a boy named… Meir!
Harav Azoulay explained that the reason for Rabbi Meir being singled out with the addition of Ba'al HaNess is because as long as one precedes his/her personal request with "Eloka d'Meir aneni," and the person truly seeks the Almighty's help that request will be always be honored.
An inspiring evening, Eloka d'Meir anenU! God of Meir, answer US all!

This past Monday eve, SYR and I attended Lévana's Dinner and a Show: Light Italian Feast. As usual it was enjoyable, educational and absolutely DELICIOUS! Certainly one of the best cooking classes I've ever attended.
We especially liked the Cioppino and Lévana graciously allowed us to post her recipe:
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic
- 4 ribs celery, peeled
- 2 red peppers
- 1 large onion, quartered
- 1 fennel bulb, quartered, centers removed, sliced-thin
- 3 leeks, darkest parts removed
- 1 large can (28 oz.) crushed tomatoes
- 2 cups dry white wine
- 6 cups water
- 6 bay leaves, or 1 teaspoon ground
- 2 good pinches saffron
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon anise and fennel seeds
- Good pinch cloves
- Good pinch red pepper flakes
- 2 2-ounce can anchovies, drained and rinsed
- 1 side salmon (about 3 pounds), cut in large cubes
- 1 pound flaked mock crab
- 1 large bunch flat parsley, minced
Heat the oil in a heavy wide bottom pot. In a food processor coarsely grind the garlic, celery, pepper and onion. Add the ground mixture to the pot, with the leeks, and sautè until translucent. Reduce to medium and cook for 30 minutes. Add the fish and parsley and cook just 5 more minutes. Ladle into soup bowls, and serve with good toasted bread or croutons.
Though it took me more 60 years to even taste fish, I can assure you (as does, SYR) that these was an incredibly tasty soup with a rich array of subtle flavors. Considering the ingredients… I can actually say…. it's good for you, as well!
Enjoy, gentle reader, enjoy!
